CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-The Daily NeUS'
Paris cable says: NJ. Grevy has aroused
the mobs of the Faubourg by refusing to
resign. Gen. Saussier,and the Paris gar.
rison of 20,0O0 troops are on duty. The
assembly has passed through the most
tumultuous day since the mmun The
senate has accused Grevy Of high treason.
Clemencead and the Radicals, Rochefort
and the Extremists, are repenting their
rashuess and are shielding themselves be-
hind the outcry that the constitution is
to blame" The Reactionists are favor.
ing Ferry, because they see in him the
most favorable instrument of their resis,
lance to the Republic.
The patriot league of $4,000 is almost
in arms against Ferry, and the depart
ment is laundering to preserve the con
stitution in Grevy. The foreign powers
are looking on with anxious eyes.
No one denies the gravity of the situa,
ton. From time to time reports sweep
over the chambers that the mob is swell

talks earnestly, passing from group tc
1--WE have had nothing like it since the
commune, y says he. THE chamber can
not force Grevy to resign, but it is trying
to urge him to some unconstitutional act,
which would give them ground to CON
denim him oftreason. We are in danger
of a revolution. The mob may march or
the Elysee at any m and brighten
him into ~resigning. 1t is all the fault Of
Ferry or our ridiculous constitution. No
constitution could be inferior to ours. and
L would prefer even a monarchy.
M. Rouvier that in view OF
the action of the two legislative bodies the
president has decided to deliver his mes
sage tomorrow, and this information oc-
caslons another prolonged outbreak, but
at last the chamber agrees to adjourn
until morrow until 2 o'clock. Then
there will be more excitement, possibly
more trouble.
Your correspondent called on Bou-
LANCER this morning at the Hotel Du
Louvre. Six months have made a great
change in his popularity, still the ante
was filled with persons who wished
to see him. After waiting an hour he
received me. He walked about the room
with his hands in his pockets during the
brief conversation. He has a cordial
manner.
MY dear fellow" said Boulanger, lay
ing his hand on my shoulder, 81 don't
mind talking to newspaper men as a gen.
eral thing, but really Just now | cannot say
anything for publication. Come in after
the crisis"
Such appears to be the opinion OF the
actors in the affair-that the crisis has
not yet arrived.
Late this evening a noisy demonstration
was made in front Of the Elysee, but the
mob was scattered, with serious results.
Subsequent editions of the Journals at
tirmed that Grevy had determined to re-
sign to morrow.
De. Roulode, during one of the assem-
bly, recesses, got into an alteration with
a deputy and was removed. Afterward
he handled a mob of 1000 on the Rue
Rivoli, and started for the Hotel DeVille.
The police blocked the insurgents, and
arrested him.
Within a week the circulation of
Rochefort's journal has run from 100. 900
to 300, 700. To day, he doubled the sal
aries of his editors.
When the members of the cabinet WIS.,
tied the Elysee in the morning, Grevy
said: The events of the past few days
convince me that in the interest Of the
republic | am bound not to resign. |
have received from VARIOUS parliamentary
quarters communications asking me to
remain in office. Therefore, | think it a
duty TO retain my official functions
Grevy, at a conference with the minis
tiers, abiding to the in,rigues of the Fer
ryists. said: at is all very a%rtfully con-
trived, but their game is now apparent,
and those who play it are in a hurry to
eat at the presidential table, but they are
going to be disappointed.
